SGOTM 06 - Chokonuts

[ngraner42]

We discussed lightbulbing Astronomy, but we did not fully work it out, or do the analysis early enough.

I looked at Murky Waters and there were a couple key points. They settled on the river giving maximum chance of bronze without Wheel. We had very little discussion on the starting location. We should fix that. They were very focussed on hitting an oponent early, where we played more of a builder game. They played a Conquest game whereas we played a Domination game. With AW Conquest may make more sense.

I think the fastest teams geared themselves from the start to get Astro asap and were also willing to risk more in effort to clean out starting continent which is good as long as it works.
I've signed up for new one, why not although have never won on Deity before, to be honest never even tried...

 

[Mighty Dwaarf]

Our discussions about lbulbing Astro didnt really start until after we'd cleared first continent and thus had already strayed from fastest route. With next game being OCC then we will definitely need some pre start discussion as city placement will be vital.

OCC is another fun way to play. I've actually won OCC on Deity on Diplo (it makes the game 1-2 levels easier) but I'm not sure with all the AI in if Diplo will be possible. I'm going to play a couple of test games and WB a start similar to the screenshot and see what can be done.

Looks like everyone has signed up again

Is everyone happy at 6 on the team? Does anone think we need an extra person? I think we're OK at 6 but wouldn't be bothered if we had 7.

I'm fine with 6...but would also be fine with 7 - don't care much either way.

pholkhero has expressed an interest in playing the next SGOTM and I asked if he wanted to join us. He would be a good addition, he's OK at Civ IV but very entertaining (hope he reads this )

Oh, and the Realms Beyond team (who we have beaten by 1 place in the last two SGOTMs) have stated their goal for the next SGOTM is to beat us

I welcome pholkhero to the team.

We will kick Realms Beyond's buts into the stone age in the next game.
